Bailey and Friends

Well, I am going to say it is better than blood clots in the head!!!!:D

A few months ago I got a call from the vet who first diagnosed Maddie and wanted to tell me it has been some time since they saw her. Hello, that was over 2 years ago....:mad: I am glad you are giving it a few days to respond to the vet--maybe you should tell her you do mind her using the letter and why...or maybe don't waste any of your precious time on her--use that time to find Bailey's tail....:D

I know it bothers you she doesn't have her tail, but you still have to love her. Ella doesn't have hers and I still love her (of course there are times I don't love her :mad:).

I am finding my patience is harder to find lately with her again. I thought you said 9 months was a turning point :eek:. I do see improvements, but sometimes she cannot help herself and she has to jump and nip at me right in front of people--take about embarassed! :o

Please take care of yourself. Addy will be getting you those exercise and we will have you ship-shape in no time. Then we can party in the non basement or go shopping for a different color of sweater so we will have one for each day of the week. :D

((((HUGS)))))

Marie Irene- You're funny!

I don't mind the letter being displayed. She really is a special person. She just has no "social graces." I'll respond in a couple of days.

Of course I still love Bailey with her little tail. I just wish I could see what it would look like if she had all of it to wag, and I wish for her she had not gone through that experience. It's so unnecessary. We have gotten into a pattern of my lifting her up onto the bed at night and every night I am reminded that it's not all there. It's a lot harder to scoop a doggie up when you can't put their tail between you and them!

With the nipping....what we do when it happens, and it still happens once in a while, we firmly say "NO BITING!" Then I remove my hands/arms from her reach and, if necessary, turn away from her.....putting my back to her. The idea is if you deprive her of what she thinks is play eventually she'll learn that it works to her detriment. It's not 100% gone, but she's not even a year yet. Just yesterday Bailey scooted out the door when I was going out. A neighbor was crossing the cul de sac and Bailey went to very eagerly greet her. She nipped at her some. We'll get there, Marie. We'll get there. I've often been glad that you and I got our pups so close in age. It has helped me to read of your travails and it makes me feel like things indeed are a challenge but not all that unusual. It's like they say about potty training kids....no one has ever graduated from high school with diapers on. It is in their own time. Not ours, unfortunately.

We've been through this with 3 doggies now and if there is a next time, I think I'd prefer to find a rescue dog that's 2 years old-ish.

Still whirling around in my world. Less often but it is still happening. To look at me walking, you'd swear I was drunk! :o:eek:

Love,
Susan

Happy Sunday Sus.

I hope the world stopped twirling and your ears are better.

addy

I can't believe the Packers lost!!!!!! No Super Bowl party for us:(:(:(:(

How many times did they drop the ball?

And since hubby grew up in NY he was cheering on the Giants.:mad:

He may have to sleep in the den tonight:p:p:p:p:p:p

I hope everyone is feeling better today!!!

I am playing MOM to Addy and think she should go to the doctor's this week and not next....

Happy Monday!!!!

Places I've Been and Haven't Been

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.
Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family, and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

I may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing.


Happy Wednesday everyone!:D:D:D:D

lol sus, you made my day!!!!!



love,
addy

LOL - that was good!!! Did you think that up all by yourself??? I think your crystals might be back in place....:D

I do hope you are feeling better!!!

Nope-there are still some crystals that are awol. I was to see the doc today, but I got a call early saying she's sick. Now it's Friday. It is much, much less frequent but still unnerving when it happens.:(

I did not think that up on my own.....thanks for the compliment!:) I just saw it, loved it, copied and pasted it.:D

Well- Bailey is currently going to sleep with herself draped over my back and her neck on my neck. And she just stays there. :eek: That gets hot!!:rolleyes:

Cold here-but nothing like Abby. 41 right now.....to get very cold tonight. Now I remember why I don't like winter very much.:p

Love,
susan/sus

I hope our weather does not head your way. It is soo cold this morning and now we are to have more snow. Both pups wanted to walk but I didn't dare take them, I couldn't carry them all the way back home when their paws freeze. I think we all need to move forward, maybe we would all feel better.

Good news is when I walked out of work yesterday it was NOT DARK!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Two more months 'till day light saving time:D:D:D:D:D:D

I took a nice long hot shower, put my red pjs on and went to bed last night and your advice helped!!!!!!!! I think the red pjs had a lot to do with it. How can one feel sick while wearing red??????????

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Happy Friday!!!!!!

love to you and Bailey
Koko and Zoe woof to Bailey too
